could I use a regular lead pencil to draw my design on to Stretched Canvas before I paint?
if not what could I use to draw the design?
Yeah, you totally could. I've done it many times. The only problem is, you have to really layer the paints because if you only do one layer of paint over the lead outline, it will show through if the colour is light. It's better to layer your colours anyway; you'll get a richer, more complex outcome. Also, I would only reccomend making the pencil outline if you are going to be using acrylics or oil, not watercolour. Lastly, just make a rough outline with pencil so you'll know basically where to put your paint. Any more than a rough outline and you create too many opportunities for the pencil to show through.
Honestly, I rarely start a painting without doing a pencil outline; it really helps you get perspective down right; kind of like a roadmap for your paints.
Good luck!
